I myself am 17 years old and about to turn 18 in May.

Am really into guns and firearm history ( expecially Second World War).

Yet I've only been shooting twice in my life, even though I really like guns and going out shooting.

Two reasons for that:

Nobody in my family owns guns....

Cost, going to range when I was 13 or so striped my mother of money. Never went again

I am hoping remedy this by getting my firearms license as a b-day gift from my parents, which they have agreed to.

Just due to the cost of buying both a gun and ammo. I dont think I can go passed getting my license....

Not really sure what to do. I really want to go out and partake in something I love, however I just dont think that I can bloody aford it :/.
